What is an IT Capability? Enterprise IT capability maturity is far more than IT process maturity IT-CMF defines enterprise IT capability as the systematic mobilization of IT resources in support of targeted outcomes IT-CMF holistically defines the management capabilities that an organization needs to mature to consistently deliver business value from its IT assets in support of business goals. IT-CMF defines a capability maturity curve that can be used to assess the gaps between current and target future enterprise IT capability holistically across 35 critical capabilities (CCs) and/or on any individual CC or cluster of CCs focused on an organizational issue. Enterprise IT Capability is an integration of People (roles) Processes Organizational structure Technology that provides IT Services in alignment with enterprise strategic intent and investment allocation Innovation Value Institute 2014 7
Why is IT capability of the organization important? The gap between strategy and business value is organisational capability Business value and innovation enabled through IT Organizational capability to manage IT for business value IT Knowledge IT Process IT Resources IT People Technology IT capability is about executing stable and repeatable patterns of IT management activities that deliver business value in alignment with organisational strategy Innovation Value Institute 2014 8

The IT-CMF is based on five maturity levels to manage the value of IT High Maturity Low Optimizing Advanced Intermediate Basic Initial Seamless interoperability within and beyond the borders of the organization; widespread tool integration World-class demonstrated; significant optimization/improvement focus Predictable, flexible and unified end-to-end organizational approaches, enterprise-level tools institutionalized Standardized across core department (typically IT); consolidated tools enable reliable execution Defined approaches emerging in pockets; local tools offer intermittent support Clarity and regularity emerging in pockets Ad hoc, reflecting individual heroism rather than stable methods Disorganized and lacking clarity, deviations from norm not readily detectable IT-CMF offers a concise management roadmap to optimize business value from IT Innovation Value Institute 2014 10
Example: Programme & Project Management (PPM) capability Innovation Value Institute 2014 11
Overview of Programme and Project Management (PPM) IT-CMF Definition of PPM PPM aims at the consistent and optimised execution of programmes and projects to deliver business value. Programme: A set of interrelated projects, centrally managed to attain business objectives and benefits (e.g. establishing a Shared Service Centre). Project: A unique set of coordinated activities, with defined start and end points (end points can be time, cost, or performance targets), undertaken to meet specific objectives and attain the desired results (e.g. implementation of an ERP-System). PPM reports back to Portfolio Management. What s in scope for PPM Selection and adaption of Project Management standards to best fit the organisation Interfacing with key critical capabilities, e.g. Portfolio Management and Portfolio Planning and Prioritisation Definition and tracking of metrics to measure project success Release strategy to operations Tracking and updating business cases and benefit assessment and realisation plans Innovation Value Institute 2014 12

Portfolio Planning and Prioritisation, Portfolio Mgmt., and Programme and Project Management are MECE 1 PPP Portfolio Planning and Prioritisation PM Portfolio Management PPM Programme and Project Management New programme/ project proposals by IT and the business PPP Board Prioritised programmes and projects PM monitors ongoing programmes / projects Core Definition PPP: Portfolio Planning and Prioritization (PPP) is the capability to select (approve), cancel, and prioritize programmes/projects that are seeking organizational resources within an organization. PPP uses an agreed framework to optimize an organization's IT investments (ROI) in programmes /projects by ensuring that all programmes/projects are aligned with the organization's strategy. Core Definition PM: Portfolio Management (PM) is the capability that ensures there is an appropriate level of monitoring of the programmes and projects in the portfolio that have an IT component. PM implements the decisions made by Portfolio Planning and Prioritization (PPP) and that the programmes and projects within the portfolio are executed within their parameters. Core Definition PPM: Programme and Project Management (PPM) is the discipline of planning, organizing, managing and optimizing resources for programmes and projects in order to achieve the desired result (e.g. business value), to manage risks and issues, and to ensure all changes are properly handled. PPM reports back to PM. 1. MECE: Mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive Innovation Value Institute 2014 14
